Some anti-virus programs may restrict Vault or Inventor operations and may also cause some performance issues. All anti-virus packages are different and will need to be configured accordingly (contact your anti-virus supplier for specific details), the advice offered below is generic, and should help you get around any major conflicts between the anti-virus and your Autodesk software.
Each environment is different, but make sure that the anti-virus is not scanning the same files multiple times. Files may be scanned in the local client workspace, then again with all inbound / outbound network traffic, then the server itself may be scanning all inbound / outbound network traffic, then the server may also be scanning the Vault Filestore.
In general, making some tweaks to the anti-virus software, may just help you have a better experience and improve performance.
On the Client
Create exclusions or exceptions for specific applications to prevent them from any real-time scanning or firewall inclusion. This typically includes any of your CAD applications, like Inventor or AutoCAD and the Vault software. Such as: -
- Connectivity.VaultPro.exe
- Autoloader.exe
- JobProcessor.exe
- Acad.exe
- Inventor.exe
- InventorView.exe
- dwgviewr.exe
- DesignReview.exe
- ProductDesignSuite.exe
- Ipj.exe
- JobMonitor.exe
- Style Library Manager.exe
- AddInMgr.exe
On the Server
In addition to the above exclusions for the client, excluding the Vault Filestore location will improve performance.
Create exclusions or exceptions for the following applications: -
- w3wp.exe
- Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe
- JobProcessor.exe
- Lmgrd.exe
- lmtools.exe
General
In addition to this, setting up exclusions or exceptions set up for the following file types on both the server and the client will greatly improve performance:
.ipt
.iam
.dwf
.ipn
.chm
.idw
.dwg
.ipj
